biography

Johann Alexander Doederlein

Johann Alexander comes from a respected Weissenburg council family of Protestant faith . He was born in Bieswang in the county of Pappenheim in 1675 as the son of the pastor and rector Abraham Döderlein (1630–1693) and his wife Marie Döderlein, née. Lotzbeck, daughter of the Weißenburg mayor, was born as one of twelve children. According to other sources, he was one of nine children. He grew up in Dettenheim and Trommetsheim , where his father was a pastor.

He attended the Weissenburg Latin School , which is the secondary school in the imperial city of Weissenburg , where his father was also the rector, and from 1693 studied oriental languages , philosophy , mathematics and history at the University of Altdorf with Magnus Daniel Omeis and Johann Christoph Sturm, among others . He graduated in 1695. From 1696 he traveled through Europe with his brother Christian Ernst, the journey brought them to the universities of Jena , Halle , Leipzig and Wittenberg as well as to Berlin , Lübeck and Copenhagen . In 1699 he obtained his master's degree.

In 1697 he became adjunct of the Weißenburg city school. From 1703 until 1745 he was rector of the Weissenburg Latin School as successor to Georg Michael Nuding. Among other things, the theologian Georg Michael Preu was one of his students. He also took part in the education of his great-nephew Johann Georg Döderlein, father of the theologian Johann Christoph Döderlein . In 1707 he brought out new school regulations. In 1726 he became a member of the Prussian Academy of Sciences and on August 30, 1728 with the academic surname Clitomachus a member ( registration number 405 ) of the Leopoldina . He also became a member of the Latin Society of Jena.

He maintained the holdings of the Weißenburg Council Library until his death . Even if Döderlein was considered a bibliophile , he hardly bothered to expand the library.

Döderlein married Anna Catharina, b. Faulmüllerin, daughter of Georg Friedrich Faulmüller. Eva Catharina and Johann Alexander are from the marriage.

Döderlein died in 1745 at the age of 70 in Weißenburg, where he worked. His portrait, a painting by Johann Carl Zierl , is in the Reichsstadtmuseum Weißenburg .

Act

Döderlein's hagiography about the icon from Kalbensteinberg

Döderlein's writing comprises a total of 50 fonts. He was the first to report on the course of the Limes in the Eichstätt area . In 1723 he was the first to correctly interpret the meaning of the Limes and in 1731 he published the first scientific paper dealing with the Limes, which was then still known as the "Teuffels Wall". He was the author of the first monograph on a Russian work of art ( icon of St. Theodor Stratelates in the Rieterkirche St. Marien and Christophorus in Kalbensteinberg ). He also published musical writings and on Celtic coins .

Döderlein mainly dealt with regional history . He published, among other things, writings on the Reformation of the imperial city of Weißenburg, the Fossa Carolina and the Marshals von Pappenheim . His Weißenburg Chronicle about the history of the city of Weißenburg was published posthumously in 1762 . He chose Clitomachus as a pseudonym for some of his treatises . His thesis about the founding year of the Weißenburg Latin School is now considered to be refuted.

The city of Weißenburg has been awarding the Johann-Alexander-Döderlein-Kulturpreis, named after him, since 1986 as an advancement award for cultural workers in the region. The sponsors include Karl Hemmeter , Josef Lidl , Franz Schillinger and Franz Liebl .

In Weißenburg, the Rektor-Döderlein-Weg is also named after him.
